Ramirez is now hitting .250 (12-for-48) in Cactus League play. He'll begin the season as the Tribe's everyday shortstop, but if he struggles to hit in the early going, Francisco Lindor could quickly get the call from Triple-A to replace him. Mar 27 - 6:59 PM

Ramirez is now hitting .345 (10-for-29) on the spring. He'll start the seaso nas the Indians' everyday shortstop, but Francisco Lindor will eventually supplant him. Ramirez could still make himself useful to the Indians as a utility player. Mar 16 - 6:50 PM

Jose Ramirez blasted a solo home run in the second inning on Friday, powering the Indians to a 1-0 victory over the Rays.

Ramirez tagged Chris Archer with a solo shot to right field in the second inning, which would wind up being the only run scored in an extreme pitcher's duel. He has taken the reigns of the shortstop position since trading Asdrubal Cabrera away, but has hit just .249/.291/.332 with two homers and 16 RBI. He's merely keeping the seat warm for Francisco Lindor. Fri, Sep 26, 2014 09:57:00 PM

Zach Walters is expected to miss 3-4 weeks with a strained right oblique.

Walters was expected to begin the season in a reserve role on the Tribe's bench, but instead he'll start the year on the disabled list. He dealt with a similar issue for three weeks during the 2014 season.

He was cleared after testing out his surgically-repaired knees with some sliding drills prior to the game. "He slid on the mat," said Indians manager Terry Francona. "He needed to do that. You can't let a guy get in a game without being able to slide because you never know what can happen." Swisher has made nice progress recently but will begin the season on the disabled list.

Gavin Floyd (elbow) will begin range-of-motion exercises in two weeks.

Floyd had surgery on Tuesday to repair a re-break of the right olecranon bone in his elbow. The Indians are saying only he's out indefinitely at this point, but he's expected to miss the entire season.
